Service and Maintenance
Tool Changes
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE TOOLING WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR POWER
SUPPLIED TO THE MACHINE!!
To change the Pocket Router Bit or the Pilot Drill Bit you will need to remove the respective
motor from the carriage. You do not need to remove the Work Top to change the bits.
Pocket Router Bit
ƒ Open the rear door and unplug the router motor.
ƒ Locate the black T-Knob to the right of the drill motor at the top of the carriage. The
black T-Knob is threaded onto a large U-bolt that secures the Router Motor.
ƒ Support the bottom of the Router Motor with your left hand (Figure 21). Use your right
hand to loosen the T-Knob a few turns to provide slack on the U-bolt. (Push slightly
forward on the T-knob if necessary.)
ƒ Allow the motor to drop into your left hand, then lift it out the rear door and change the
tooling.

ƒ When re-installing, slide the motor through the curve of the U-bolt. Make sure that the
motor’s power cable is pointing toward the front-right corner of the machine, and that
the motor’s brush screw “ears” are in line perpendicular the case sides.
ƒ Push the Router Motor fully toward the top of the Motor Carriage. Make sure that the
motor contacts the angled tabs on the yellow carriage (Figure 22). If unsure remove
Work Top to confirm location.
ƒ Use your right hand to tighten the T-Knob until the U-bolt is hugging the Router Motor
tightly to the Motor Carriage. When fully secured the motor should be in contact or
very close to contacting the angled tabs on the yellow carriage.
